In an age where companies frequently cut corners at the expense of customer satisfaction, WestHost is a breath of fresh air. I originally had low expectations for your service given the very affordable rates but have been consistently impressed with all facets or your business. You are the hands-down value leader for hosting services on the Web today.

I have recently implemented two Websites with WestHost and your support team by far has been the most responsive, helpful and easiest to work with group that I have encountered to date and I will surely recommend WestHost in the future.

The customer service has been great for us. We're just a bunch of radio people trying to understand the online marketplace and WestHost has been a great help in our online journey.

You are doing a fantastic job at keeping low cost full featured Web hosting. We do Web design and have many clients with sites already on servers. We intend to not only bring all clients with new sites to you, but also to transfer existing sites to your servers. We are certain our clients will agree that you are a rare and wonderful find. Thanks and keep it up!

WestHost designed our website and when saw what with my ideas I was so surprised! It was more beautiful than I had imagined. They did such a great job that we decided to use their design as our logo.

Hope B. (www.loganmemorials.com)

The amount of care and concern displayed by your company and its employees was a breath of fresh air in contrast to the run-around received by [other companies I do business with] all of whom were passing the buck and arrogantly I may add! I am thrilled to do business with a company exemplifying such customer service skills as yours. I assure you that I will communicate my satisfaction and pleasure to as many of my clients that I can when the opportunity arises.

Making the switch to WestHost has been great for our company. Their customer service has been excellent. They are quick to respond to problems we have and always follow through to make sure issues have been resolved to our satisfaction. Having all our web and email administration under one roof has been very convenient.
